Question

Is there an adjective phrase in this sentence and if so what does it modify?

1. Paris, France, is where the two of them met.

Also, does an adjective phrase have to start with a preposition, or can "very happy" in "she was very happy" be an adjective phrase?

There is no adjective phrase in that sentence because there is no adjective.

Anonymousdoes an adjective phrase have to start with a preposition

No. In fact, an adjective phrase can’t start with a preposition. The category of a phrase depends on that of its head word: a phrase with a preposition as its head is a prepositional phrase, one with an adjective as head is an adjective phrase, and so on. If a prepositional phrase is modifying a noun, as in the car by the fire hydrant, it doesn’t suddenly become an adjective phrase. Phrases don’t change their category to suit their function.
